Why We Process Data

The law on data protection allows us to process your data for certain reasons only:

• In order to perform the contract that we are party to
• In order to carry out legally required duties
• In order for us to carry out our legitimate interests
• To protect your interests and
• Where something is done in the public interest.

All of the processing carried out by us falls into one of the permitted reasons. Generally, we will rely on the first three reasons set out above to process your data.
For example, we need to collect and process the personal data of customers and suppliers in order to perform the contract that we are party to with them and to maintain accurate accounting records in order to carry out our legally required duties.
We also collect data so that we can carry out activities which are in the legitimate interests of the Company. We have set these out below:

• Contacting prospective customers and suppliers
• Tracking the performance of our website and understanding more about what is of interest to our website visitors
• Dealing with legal claims made against us or bringing legal claims against others
• Preventing fraud

We know that we must process special categories of data in accordance with more stringent guidelines. Most commonly, we will process special categories of data when the following applies:
• We have been asked by our customer or supplier explicitly to do so.
• The data has already been made public.

We do not and will not process special category data relating to our customers or suppliers (including former customers and suppliers and prospective customers and suppliers).

If You Do Not Provide Data to Us

One of the reasons for processing your data is to allow us to carry out our duties in line with the contract that exists between us. If you do not provide us with the data needed to do this, we may be unable to perform those duties.

Sharing Data

Your data may be shared with colleagues within the Company where it is necessary for them to undertake their duties.

We may also share your data for other reasons to comply with a legal obligation upon us.
Intuit Ltd, Zesta Ltd and Stripe Inc. process your data outside of the EEA but all are certified by the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework in accordance with GDPR requirements.

Protecting Your Data

We are aware of the requirement to ensure data is protected against accidental loss or disclosure, destruction and abuse. We have implemented processes to guard against such.
Where we share your data with third parties, we provide written instructions to them to ensure that your data are held securely and in line with GDPR requirements. Third parties must implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of your data.

How Long We Keep Data For

In line with data protection principles, we only keep your data for as long as we need it for. Retention periods can vary depending on why we need your data, as set out in our Data Retention Schedule which is available from Rachel Dancey ([email protected])

Automated Decision Making

We do not make decisions on the basis of automated decision making (e.g. where a decision is taken using an electronic system without human involvement).

Your Rights in Relation to Data

The law on data protection gives you certain rights in relation to the data we hold on you. These are:

• The right to be informed. This means that we must tell you how we use your data, and this is the purpose of this privacy notice
• The right of access. You have the right to access the data that we hold on you. To do so, you should make a subject access request
• The right for any inaccuracies to be corrected. If any data that we hold about you is incomplete or inaccurate, you are able to require us to correct it
• The right to have information deleted. If you would like us to stop processing your data, you have the right to ask us to delete it from our systems where you believe there is no reason for us to continue processing it
• The right to restrict the processing of the data. For example, if you believe the data we hold is incorrect, we will stop processing the data (whilst still holding it) until we have ensured that the data is correct
• The right to portability. You may transfer the data that we hold on you for your own purposes
• The right to object to the inclusion of any information. You have the right to object to the way we use your data where we are using it for our legitimate interests
• The right to regulate any automated decision-making and profiling of personal data. You have a right not to be subject to automated decision making in way that adversely affects your legal rights.

Where you have provided consent to our use of your data, you also have the unrestricted right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent means that we will stop processing the data that you had previously given us consent to use. There will be no consequences for withdrawing your consent. However, in some cases, we may continue to use the data where so permitted by having a legitimate reason for doing so.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights explained above, please contact Rachel Dancey ([email protected]).
